Seahawks players in 2000
The 2000 Seattle Seahawks season was the franchise's 25th season in the National Football League (NFL), the first of two seasons the Seahawks played at Husky Stadium while Qwest Field was being built and the second under head coach Mike Holmgren . The 2000 Seahawks' pass defense surrendered 7.63 yards-per-attempt (including quarterback sacks), one of the ten-worst totals in the history of the NFL. They failed to improve on their 9–7 record or defend their AFC West title from 1999 .[ 1]
